How do I lock a target?

Press Tab or right-click a target; your weapons fire once it's in range.

  • Tab picks targets near your cursor first. After that it goes enemy players, then NPC ships, mines and boss mounts, then attack drones.
  • Press Tab again within 0.5 s to cycle to the next target.
  • Press Tab on your locked target to unlock it.

Good to know

The pilot you're locking can see that you're locking them.
